Hi,


I'm new to Xcode development. I have been asked to update an old project done in objective-c.


I'm having this issue with my distribution provisioning profile. It goes like this


Provisioning profile "XXXXXX" doesn't include signing certificate "iPhone Distribution: XXXXXXXXXX (XXXXXXXXXX)".


The thing is I can see the certificate "iPhone Distribution: XXXXXXXXXX (XXXXXXXXXX)" in my keychain. But there are 2 of them. One has a private key and the other one doesn't and both have a different expiry date. When I checked the developer account, the distribution provisioning profile is signed with certificate that doesn't have a private key (the expiry date of the certificate shown on developer account is that of the one without private key)


  1. What is causing this issue?
  2. How can I fix it?
  3. What if I can't get the private key from the older machine(as that machine is no more useable)


Please help.

I tried deleting one of the certificates, and also automatically manage signing. None of them worked.

This is happening for no reason. I couldnt see why would it do this? I have all the keys needed but still it's complaining with this error. Apple, please resolve this issue and let us know the fix.

Check the iOS Member Center / Provisioning portal, you can download certificates, profiles and more.

FOR FUCK SAKE!!!! Is it that hard to renew a certificate? Apple is the only place I see this much trouble. Our private's key should be the same. We just renew the certificate so Apple know it's us. I am still three hours later with this issue. This happens EVERY YEAR.

Apples certification process is crap. We always have issues with signing when profiles expire. Nothing has changed in the app. As long as you have a valid working paid for account apps should run from a single certificate until your account is closed. Why add ridiculously short life spans for certificates and profiles it has never made sense. Why not a token that validates against your account. No account no running your Enterprise app. Apple need to short this out.

It happened to me when I forgot to agree to the new terms for paid applications. After agreeing to the terms, the newly generated provisioning profile started to work.
